Summertime is comin'
And the world is a picture
Lazy people hummin'
And their style is a fixture
Anything can happen
These are days without knowing
Let me sit and wonder
In the breeze that is blowing
Now's the time to get lost
In this maze of decay
Like a coin that gets tossed
Once you get down and play
City on my mind
Don't you rob me blind
City on my mind
Swallow me, be kind
I remember nothin'
Of the last time I saw you
Yet I'm sure I found you
And you still can astound me
Rows and rows of people
They're all fed up with sorrow
Ain't no time for weepin'
Leave it all for tomorrow
Yeah, it's time to get lost
In this maze of decay
Like a coin that gets tossed
Once you get down and play
City on my mind
Don't you rob me blind
City on my mind
Swallow me, be kind
City on my mind
City on my mind
City on my mind
I can still hear the sound of the soft-clicking heels
When the ladies abound with their looks that can kill
City on my mind
Don't you rob me blind
City on my mind
Swallow me, be kind
City on my mind
Don't you rob me blind
City on my mind
Swallow me, be kind
City on my mind
